I think that all depends on how much you shoot and the number rounds get fire in rapid succession, in F-Class I would put 12 rounds through the barrel in around 5 minutes and it gets very hot, so I was hopping for at least 800 rounds life before setting the barrel back. (I have put around about 500-600 rounds through mine and from looks would say its at half barrel life but I set it back anyway for this season)

For hunting I would hope for a much longer life then that and have heard people quoting 1200 plus rounds

hope this helps
